A new padel facility has officially opened in Cannock, with a welcome event featuring free court sessions, coaching demonstrations and freebies planned for 3 October.

Cannock residents can now try one of the UK’s fastest growing sports following the official opening of Padel Xero.
The brand new padel facility offers premium courts for players of all ages and skill levels, from complete beginners to those looking to play competitively.
Padel combines elements of tennis and squash and is played on an enclosed glass court. The accessible and social sport has continued to grow in popularity across the UK.
Founded by Chris Blair, Padel Xero aims to become a local sports hub that promotes health, wellbeing and social connection within the Staffordshire community.
“We are so excited to bring padel to Cannock. It's an incredible sport because anyone can get involved. Our goal is to make this facility a welcoming space for everyone in the community, from beginners to competitive players,” said Chris Blair, Founder of Padel Xero.
